im glad i seen the world for what it really was at a young age because now the lack of communication amongst my peers doesn't surprise me. All of these ancient ideals for what life should be really blows me when people bend them anyway. i find it utterly stupid how respect is one-sided and only the adults are required to receive it. if the adults behave unlike the unethical rules of morality are they being disrespectful, no according to the traditions their being an adult.but what really is an adult. someone who does what they want or someone who created the ideals and expect others to follow suit.if anyone asked me or cared about any opposing perspective other than their own, i would say adults justify their actions by exclaiming that their grown and i am too blunt to accept that bullshit. If the rules were really accurate why are those who stand by them behavior is not replicated by their teaching because its not about right or wrong its about desire. it's about producing an outcome that makes the adults feel more comfortable withstanding based off of a foundation of desire. i said for years that ur not an adult until u take up the responsibilities of being an adult. and responsibilities aren't just paying bills, its being honest and holding oneself accountable for their own behavior. ur time on this earth doesn't make u an adult. i know supposed adults who still act like children - ignorant and irresponsible. adults discount the future. adults who deem themselves possessors of power over people who have earned the god-giving right to make their own decisions without being ridiculed for them. they tell u to be urself and when u do they confront u about it. we're humans we have feelings with responses and impulses and just because ur an adult i dont have to like what u say and i can respond to it. u are not excluded from the outcomes of ur behavior be an adult and deal with shit and be up front about it. im tired of feeling like the only rational individual who doesnt feel any remorse for being honest. the truth does set u free...from obligations and ancient rules. random thought but i hate the rule "if u dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all" cus its not about sparing feelings, it's about being honest. if these adults were comfortable with honesty than conflict wouldn't exist. - Essie Bell
